I count 21 station collectors on the sunshine list making over $100,000 a year.
I believe my friend has an uncle who used to work as a ticket collector at the TTC. His average work day was 8 hours, and every thursday and saturday he worked sitting on a chair to count people passing through the subway. He made about $100k a year.
He probably was, but I still find that outrageous. If I was him, I'd take all the late night shifts and play mario on a gameboy when nobody's at the stationThere was no way he made that kind of money without working overtime.
Fare evasion shouldn't be regarded as a big deal, either
Just pay minimum wage to booth monkeys. It is just about the least skilled position known to man (sitting), so I don't see how anybody can justify much more than min wage. Just add more token machines (at least every entrance should have one) and get turnstiles that can read transfers.
